Purchased in 1912 by the Belfast Corportation, the Cavehill and Whitewell Tramway features Belfast Zoo and Floral Hall. Opened in 1930 as a concert and dance venue, Floral Hall was a successful building, becoming Belfast's largest and most popular concert venue, seating up to 1000 people at a time. The building has an unusual Art Deco yet modern style of architecture, featuring thing metal windows, smooth walls, and a circular porch. It is one of only a handful of buildings surviving from the early 20th century in the city. However, since the troubles, concerts ended in the hall, and it eventually shut down and became a storage facility for the zoo.
